I'm The Sentient Cloud, a now-retired fanfiction writer from New Zealand. If you're looking at this, then you've probably already found your way to either "The Piano Man" or "Those Who Came Before".

    Updates on /everything/

    Okay, so as a little note: I am still around, and I am still working on the final Piano Man Chapter.
    But, that brings me to an interesting point, that being; I'm not entirely sure I'll keep writing for FIMFiction once it's over. I'm not saying I won't, but it's a possibility.

    Hard at Work

    I know I've been very quiet update-wise as of late, so I feel it's best that I put up a quick blog post.

    As per normal, Those Who Came Before is still on hiatus until I've put out these last two Piano Man chapters. I just felt I should reaffirm that. The first of the two-part epilogue for The Piano Man: Act II is close to completion too. I apologize for the long wait.

    Google "The Piano Man"

    Every now and then, I Google my stories, just to see how far down the list they pop up. Obviously, The Piano Man has never been high on the search results unless you include 'FIMfiction' in the search bar.

    But...

    Seriously. What.
    WHAT.

One-Shot Ideas · 10:12am Sep 13th, 2012

Okay, so I have a few ideas for one-shots that I thought I'd bounce off you lot, as I'd rather write something that people are more willing to read. (This is just a little side-project, for anyone worried that it will impede The Piano Man.)

Anyway, who would be interested in:

- A parody/comedy story staring the generic black-and-red Alicorn OC?
- A sad/dark story about a human who's catching glimpses of the ponies, and 'losing it' because of said glimpses?
- A random/comedy about the Mane Six trying to learn about computers/television?
- Something stupid involving Derpy and Pinkie causing mayhem around Ponyville?
- A generic sad/romance story, of which there is always at least one in the feature-box?

As you can see, I'm not exactly in-funds at the Idea Bank, but I'm interested in writing a little something.

number two sounds interesting

Check out this Blog post for an awesome fic idea, to do with Red and Black OC Alicorns.

If you pull that one off, you'll be a God in my eyes.

One-shots are great to do now and then. I use one-shots to get out of writer blocks and spur new ideas, and a lot of people like OS's better than series. I say go for it, cause as I learned, you never know when you'll hit a sweet spot and wrack up likes!

Either the first or second option, I'd say.
Although, the first one would probably take less words to pull off. The second idea, while more interesting, seems more appropriate for a slightly longer one-shot.
So I guess it kinda depends on how much you think you'll be able to write.

2 or 4 would be awesome, I love the idea of Pinkie and Derpy causing mayhem xD And the glimpses of ponies one sounds amazing :derpytongue2:

- A random/comedy about the Mane Six trying to learn about computers/television?

i say this would be interesting

First, second, fourth and fifth all look fun.

three and four, maybe.

Using computers with hooves. heh.

- A parody/comedy story staring the generic black-and-red Alicorn OC?
- A sad/dark story about a human who's catching glimpses of the ponies, and 'losing it' because of said glimpses?

Those two sound pretty good. :pinkiehappy:

I like the Derpy/Pinkie idea. Could be fun

Go with #4 since that's the one I've seen the least of. Actually, I can't recall a story with both Derpy and Pinkie causing mischief at all.

#2 definitely sounds like an interesting idea worth exploring, In my opinion.

I say the third one. I'll love to see how they mess around our great, powerful technology equipment.:ajsmug:

I'm okay with any of these except #4, there are way to many romance/shipping fics out there and another one of those would add to the ever growing shit-storm

Second One sounds pretty good bro
